The prequels were much better written, they had actual characters and story, not a bunch of memes and one-liners that lack any emotion or coherence. Luke is a cliched everyboy "hero" that goes through an absurdly rapid transformation between the fifth and the sixth episodes. Anakin's emotional instability and his exposure as a psychopath are gripping; and his doomed relationship with Padme is touching. In the "original trilogy" Han, Leia, Darth Vader and Obi Wan are complete meme characters, nothing about them is remotely believable or human. And why doesn't anyone care about deaths in those movies? Leia's planet destruction, Luke's stepparents' death, all of the blown up rebels--the list could go on--all the deaths are forgotten moments later.

As for direction, the movies from the "original trilogy" were mostly incoherent, badly edited and full of logical problems. The prequel trilogy is a work of a "vulgar auteur".

I feel neutral about the series overall, and honestly don't care about trolling or contrarianism. Here are my sincere rankings:

1. "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones"
2. "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace"
3. "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith"
4. "Star Wars"
5. "The Empire Strikes Back"
6. "Return of the Jedi"
7.
8. "The Force Awakens"

Episode 7 isn't even a Star Wars movies. It is a Marvel flick masquerading as one.

The prequels are infused with a bold vision of artistic profundity that eclipses the likes of generic sci-fi movies of recent times. The streamlining process that has begun to creep into the production of every slightly sci-fi-y tinged movie has created an amorphous blob of mediocrity and blandness. The prequels deliver a basic premise of good vs. evil but do it so by utilizing characters that are endowed with humanity. Aside from the storytelling aspect the prequels stand strong on all fronts, from writing, cinematography and set pieces that truly immerse you into a fantastic world full of wonder and awe. It is infinitely unfortunate that this behemoth of a film project is marred by the majority of the populace's inability to assess the genius and lack of intelligence. One can only hope that in eons to come, evolution will have worked in ways as to ensure and maximize the distribution of the gene that thrives in the intellectual minority of our time so that future generations and civilizations will be able to grasp the grandeur of the prequels and see behind the masquerading illusion that is reddit.

The prequels are a fantastic example of what happens when one person has too much creative control. There are some beautiful looking scenes, and the story is a beautiful political drama reminiscent of samurai films, but someone needed to pull Lucas aside and say "Hey. No. That's not a good idea. Stop it."

Unfortunately, that didn't happen. I'd still rather watch the prequels than VII though.

Wacky personalities are a quirk of the AI in all Droids: The longer a droid goes without regular mindwipes, the more personality they end up developing.

The fact that so many redditors still name the forse awakens as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" star wars movie ever only tells you how far reddit still is from becoming a serious site. Patricians have long recognized that the greatest star wars movies of all times are episode 1 and episode 3, who were not the most action-oriented or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Redditors are still blinded by commercial success. TFA sold more tickets than any other star wars movie, therefore it must have been the greatest. Redditors are often totally ignorant of the prequels' subtleties. No wonder they will think that TFA did anything worthy of being saved.

You fucking kidding me, right? Rule of thirds is as basic as you can get without spelling it out in crayon. Look at how the entire scene is structured, besides giving you no actual information that advances the story in any meaningful way:
>da republic shits can esplode ds big ball ships
Nothing fucking happens and nothing is interesting to look at. Action scenes need a focus, otherwise it is an autistic demo reel. Who are you looking at in the opening crane shot? The clones? Probably, I have no clue...the stupid ball ship ascending in the air takes up 1/3rd of the shot but it serves no purpose. Then you cut to Yoda on a crap dutch angle-ish thing that gives me no information and has this massive absence of filling in tje frame.

Cut back to digital shit showing the ship being shot at, which is something you don't need to see a second time, then it crashes.

You are an absolute idiot if you think anything in that sequence is intelligent you fucking aspie.

Holy shit... This...

It's always really bothered me that people, adults, have such intense anger for/hatred of the prequels. The two of you just made me peg exactly why. Most of the people who passionately hate Episodes I-III and go on ridiculous rants about them are ADULTS, and furthermore, were ADULTS when the movie came out. Most of the people who saw these movies as little kids LOVED them, Jar Jar and all.

I understand that the OT is better because adults as well as kids enjoy it; they're good for little kids and they're also good for people who have developed critical facilities. But that the OT was made for kids, too. None of these fucking movies were MADE FOR YOU at all, so just stop being a pathetic whiny man-child basement dweller and move on with your sad life and watch 2001 or Looper or something else that's actually written to please adults. You literally made an entire generation of children feel guilty for having fun. Nerds are the worst.

Source: In 2005 Lucas said, ""The movies are for children but they don't want to admit that. In the first film they absolutely hated R2 and C3-PO. In the second film they didn't like Yoda and in the third one they hated the Ewoks... and now Jar Jar is getting accused of the same thing." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/394542.stm

THIS, most people who slam I-III are nothing more than crusty manchildren who refuse to let Star Wars go. If the prequels came out during their age, they would've loved them just the same way as the OT.

Same here

It's a shame the prequels keep getting shat on because they weren't nostalgic enough for the ot crowd

I grew up in with the originals so I consider myself one of them, but they and new media have ruined the reputation of the prequels for the next gen of star wars fans

I know 90/20s kids who insist the prequels are bad because x or y told them they were, they can't actually explain why for themselves

Of course, if they did that wouldn't be a problem either. I also understand ot fans not liking the prequels: the ot is based on familiar mythology we're all comfortable with and grew up on, the prequels are sourced from history and politics which is a bit more harsh

I just dislike the mentality of these fanboys that now report or create 90% of star wars stuff in new media

And this mentality brought us The Force Awakens, so fuck them

>A Vurk male born on his species' homeworld of Sembla,[1] Coleman Trebor became a Jedi, and was the only Vurk to do so. As a member of the Jedi Order he built a green lightsaber,[3] and earned a seat on the Jedi High Council during the Separatist Crisis.[1] Once the Council learned of the Separatist force on the planet Geonosis, Trebor joined the Jedi assault team led by Mace Windu, and traveled to Geonosis to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi from the Confederacy of Independent Systems. He fought in the Petranaki arena, and confronted Count Dooku on a balcony. Trebor was shot and killed by the bounty hunter Jango Fett, falling to his death on the arena floor.[3]

If they can ever retcon midichlorians in E8 or E9 and say that Qui-Gon was an original Grey Jedi and either lied about them or was part of an edgy cult that believed in them and was Rey's father so that is why Rey turned Grey as well and also make Jar Jar is a Sith Lord canon, it would actually resurrect the prequels and make them all 8/10 to 9/10.
